SANTA CLARA – Backup defensive tackle Jullian Taylor is out for the 49ers’ final regular-season game and the postseason with a knee injury, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday.
Taylor will go on injured reserve due to a torn ACL.
The 49ers will promote rookie defensive tackle Kevin Givens from the practice squad to take Taylor’s spot on the 53-man roster, Shanahan said. Givens could be in uniform for the 49ers' game Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks.
"I've just been staying patient and listening to everybody, all the coaches," said Givens, who had just found out he would be promoted.
